Excellent webinar from the Scottish Violence Reduction Unit on Hope after Trauma with Paul Gray (former CEO NHS Scotland), Jo Berry and Gregory Boyle founder of Homeboy Industries in Los Angeles, the largest gang intervention, rehabilitation and re-entry program in the world.

Listen in as the group talk about acknowledging the trauma caused by Covid. We need to listen to people, not rush to pathologise/medicalise (diagnose someone or prescribe something), but rather seek to understand their perspective so as not to retraumatise them. Allowing people the opportunity to connect and heal, not with a view to going back to a ‘new normal’, but to readdress the imbalance and help them to arrive at solutions by expressing themselves in a meaningful way.

Crises have 3 psychological phases:
1. Emergency - clear shared goals, energised, focused, even productive.
2. Regression - we realise the future is uncertain, lose sense of purpose, get tired, irritable, withdrawn and less productive.
3. Recovery - we begin to reorientate, revise our goals, expectations, roles and begin to focus on moving forward vs. getting by.
Most of us are in the regression phase right now. This is a normal reaction to an abnormal situation.

Crisis is often a three-act story: Emergency. Regression. Recovery.
